International Agreements

The Bailiwick of Guernsey is signed up to a number of international agreements and conventions.

When a convention is extended to the Bailiwick of Guernsey - or, in some instances to Guernsey only - it means it has been decided by each of the island governments that they should comply with the obligations under the convention.

Generally the UK ratifies an international agreement on behalf of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. However, in certain circumstances, the Crown Dependencies may be authorised to conclude their own international agreements by a process of entrustment - this is the case for Tax Information Exchange Agreements for example.

If you have a query about any international agreement or convention please contact the External Relations Team.
